You can't really do that anymore since most drives are sold in bulk no matter where you go.

Add a sata cable to g-unit's build and you are good to go. Most mobos only come with 2.

I have that same board and I'm pretty sure it comes with four so there's no need to buy extra.

thanks for the advice, i'm going to go with g-unit's build, but i will get a cheaper monitor, probably slightly smaller. Also will i not also need a power cable as well as the sata cable.

Built a computer in June. PSU (PC Power and Cooling) came with a power cable. Intel SSD came with a Sata cable. You may need a SATA cable for your HDD?

Good Luck!

There's a very small percentage of PSUs that don't come with cables - only some low end Antecs are the ones that come to mind.
